July 17, 2017 - Sometimes I wish that my soapbox was just a little bit taller.

Over the past two or three decades, I have more-or-less accidentally made a number of historically significant predictions in various of my books and essays that have turned out to be correct. For example, in 1977, in my first novel, The Probability Broach, I predicted the Internet, wall-sized computer/television screens, laptop/tablets, computer-aided forensics, and laser designators for handguns. Some time around the same period, I talked about what would become known as the “Strategic Defense Initiative” or “Star Wars” (in an article for Reason/Frontlines, and I predict now that the concept is coming around again). In 1981, in The Gallatin Divergence, I said that the Marxist regime in Russia would not survive to celebrate its 100th anniversary. My editor at the time, supposedly an expert on Soviet affairs, dismissed that as “wishful thinking”. In numerous books and articles, I insisted that Global Warming is a crooked scam, that the very notion of “peak oil” was absurd, and that our species would be far better off emphasizing travel to and exploitation of the Asteroid Belt than the Moon or Mars.

For the past few years, there has been a disturbing trend in schools all across Amerika where administration officials have attempted to silence those who want to talk about their Christian faith.

JEANERETTE, Louisiana (PNN) - July 1, 2017 - The Daily Iberian and KABC TV-3 reported last month that Jeanerette, Louisiana terrorist pig thug cop Chief Jeffery Matthews said a suspect broke into a house in the 2000 block of Frisco Street around 2:00 in the morning on Wednesday June 7.

BANGKOK, Thailand (PNN) - June 29, 2017 - A cop on the other side of the globe just showed the world that cops can actually stop a person armed with a knife - without killing him. Not only was violence not used in disarming the man but the exact opposite - love.
